Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte

Song Yunqing just glanced at Song Yunyu's back and ignored her, but looked at Song Jinshu and Liu Jiangyue.

She said apologetically, "Eldest sister, it's my fault for not being able to control Fourth Sister and causing her to have such a bad temper. Please punish me, elder sister!"

"Jiang Yue, I'm sorry. My fourth sister is ignorant. You...don't take those words to heart."

Liu Jiangyue secretly wiped away her tears and shook her head gently: "Yunqing, I'm fine. Fourth cousin didn't mean it."

Seeing Liu Jiangyue's sensible appearance, Song Jinshu couldn't help but feel distressed.

It is said that her cousin was born in the same year as Song Yunqing, and they are both fifteen years old this year.

Normally, the two are as close as sisters, and Song Yunqing's relationship with Liu Jiangyue is even better than that with his biological sister Song Yunfu.

Previously, the Liu family was ransacked, but Liu Jiangyue escaped the disaster because he went to visit Liu Shi, because the Liu family had never suffered any misfortune.

The man did not take Liu Jiangyue, a girl, seriously and tacitly allowed her to stay in the Song family.

Life is not easy living under someone else's roof. In the past few months, Liu Jiangyue has often been bullied by Liu Yunyu.

But in order to overturn the verdict for her family, she endured it until the original owner took office as the county magistrate.

She originally wanted to ask Song Jinshu to help the Liu family.

In memory, the original owner had a good impression of his cousin. Even though Liu Jiangyue was currently living under someone else's roof, she still did not forget to run around for her family. Song Jinshu also had a very good impression of her.

Besides, Liu Jiangyue is her biological cousin, and her relationship with her is almost the same as that of her half-sisters.

"Third sister, what fourth sister said is a bit too much. Jiang Yue is my cousin. To me, she is also my sister, just like Fu'er. I don't want to hear such words in the county government again.

Yueyue, you must also remember that you are my sister and this is your home. If others bully you, you can bully them back. If you can't beat them, I am here for you!"

Song Jinshu touched Liu Jiangyue's hair. After not seeing her for a while, the child had become thinner.

She must be worried about the Liu family. After thinking for a while, she whispered in Liu Jiangyue's ear, "Yueyue, I have always kept my grandfather's affairs in mind. I know everything. Don't worry."

Liu Jiangyue was so moved by her words that she burst into tears. All the grievances she had felt during this period disappeared at this moment.

After listening to her explanation, Liu Jiangyue was stunned for a long time. She thought her cousin had forgotten it long ago.

I didn't expect that it was her petty mind that my cousin has always kept it in mind!

Looking at the bright eyes of Liu Jiang Yue, Song Jinshu looked away guiltily.

She has only been back for a few days and is worried about her own head every day. How can she find the time to take care of the Liu family?

However, since she has spoken today, she must do it and not lie to the child.

After settling the Song sisters, Song Jinshu returned to the main house. She was the boss here, so of course the main house belonged to her!

When she had free time, she also had the mind to think about other things. The first thing was to write about building a river dam, and the second thing was to help the Liu family.

After thinking about it, she wrote again. Half a year later, heavy rains caused floods, countless deaths and injuries, plague broke out, and there was a shortage of food...

When Song Jinshu came to his senses, he realized that he had written a whole page.

She sighed and suddenly felt that life was difficult.

Lu Ruoyu, who had just finished his execution and returned home to change his clothes, was planning to come to the county government office to report his work to Song Jinshu.

Before he saw Song Jinshu, he saw a group of young girls getting off the carriage. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go directly to the backyard to find Song Jinshu, but went to the hall to handle official business.

After asking the servants and finding out that Song Jinshu was no longer busy, he invited her out to talk.

"Sir, Li San has been executed, and the Li family's property has been sorted out. Furthermore, because of Li San's past actions, the Li family has been ostracized whenever they leave the house. They have submitted an application to immigrate to Guangrao County..."

"Guangrao County?" Why did it sound familiar to her?

The next moment, Lu Ruoyu gave the answer: "And Shi Zhubu also submitted his resignation and filed an immigration application, with the destination being Guangrao County."

Song Jinshu then remembered that in her previous life, Shi Zhubu went to Guangrao County, and later when she fell into poverty, he turned against her.

However, it was better not to have such low-quality county citizens. She waved her hand and said, "That's all approved! They'd be a nuisance if they stayed in our county!"

Lu Ruoyu did not answer after hearing this. If he said these words, he would become a gossipmonger.

"By the way! How much silver did the Li family confiscate?"

Song Jinshu didn't notice Lu Ruoyu's expression change. She didn't wait for his answer and said to herself, "According to the list of people who reported Li San earlier, use the money you confiscated from the Li family to give them some compensation door to door!"

Lu Ruoyu was stunned. So this is what the adult meant!

He thought...

Lu Ruoyu suddenly felt ashamed of his malicious speculation. What was wrong with him!

Why do you always assume ill will towards me, sir? This is not what a saint does.

"Your Excellency is wise. I will do it right away!"

Song Jinshu called out to Lu Ruoyu, and after he turned around, he asked, "County Magistrate Lu! How are you handling the dam materials? Is everything going smoothly?"

Lu Ruoyu blushed, his cheeks flushed. He pursed his lips and shook his head: "My subordinates are useless. Those merchants are obsessed with profit. They said they won't supply goods without a deposit!"

"Now that we have the money, you should do it as soon as possible! I will not be at peace until this river dam is repaired!" Song Jinshu sighed.

Even if she didn't raid the Li family, she planned to give Lu Ruoyu a banknote today and ask him to prepare the materials quickly.

As for the announcement for recruiting slaves, as of today, few people have signed up.

It seems that she is going to take unfair measures!

"County Magistrate Lu! Write another notice. All citizens of Jingyang County, aged 12-45, excluding the sick, disabled, and pregnant women, regardless of gender, will be required to perform forced labor two days out of every five. The county government will provide three meals a day, ensuring you are well fed, plus a daily wage of thirty wen, paid daily!"

After hearing this, Lu Ruoyu nodded in agreement. He thought it was good enough that Lord Song agreed to pay the laborers, but he didn't expect that he would also provide three meals a day.

Thirty cents might not be enough to buy three kilograms of rice, but as long as they have something to eat, the people are willing to work even without any wages.

But the adult was finally generous, and Lu Ruoyu felt that he should not remind her anymore.

The new notice spread to every village in Jingyang County within a day.

The village chief took the yamen runners to notify every household and count the number of people.

When the villagers learned that the government was recruiting forced laborers, they felt like the sky had fallen. After hearing about the benefits, no one could believe it.

The one who made the decision was Song Jinshu. They had heard that when Song Jinshu first took office, many wealthy families were fleeced by her and were told that their new county magistrate only cared about money and not people.

Is it really credible that this money came from such a county magistrate with a long history of bad deeds?

The only exception was Wangjia Village, especially Wang Laoer, who took the initiative to sign up when there was no compulsory conscription.

Many villagers said that the information in the notice was misleading, but he still chose to believe Song Jinshu for once.

After all, she sought justice for her eldest brother and even had compensation delivered yesterday.

Lord Song must be a good official. Those words were just malicious slander against her by others.
